The early morning light shines on the gold and silver platform, and the entire gold and silver platform is like a new sun, shining brightly.
This should be the most shining place in Chang'an City.
However, today, although the gold and silver platform shines, no one looks at it.
Almost everyone looked at another high platform on Zhuque Street, a higher platform than the Gold and Silver Platform.
On the gold and silver table.
"It was actually built higher than my gold and silver platform!" Emperor Qian sneered.
Li Xianyuan looked at the high platform a hundred feet away in front of him, "Although this high platform is high, it does not last long. It is only a temporary construction and cannot be compared to the gold and silver platform."
Emperor Qian was noncommittal and asked, "How are you preparing?"
"Suzaku Academy has invited a total of thirty-six famous scholars in the world, and twenty-eight of them are considered to be His Majesty's people." Li Xianyuan said.
"Twenty-eight..." Emperor Qian nodded and asked, "Have you ever gotten the test questions?"
"It's an exam question given by the disciples in the back mountain." Li Xianyuan said.
"Back Mountain..." Emperor Qian glanced at the direction of Zhuque Academy and said quietly, "I really want to take a look there."
As the Emperor of Daqian, the entire Chang'an City should belong to him, but there is a mountain that prohibits him, the Emperor of Daqian, from entering.
Li Xianyuan was silent.
As time went by, more and more candidates came to the final examination platform, and more and more people gathered around the platform.
Ping'an Square, Changlai Inn.
After preparing a sumptuous breakfast, Zhu Yourong and the landlady came together to the door of the small pavilion where Chu Xiu retreated.
The door opens.
"I know who wakes up first from a big dream."
Chu Xiu walked out of the room, groaned softly, stretched, and had a lazy smile on his face.
"You haven't tied your hair yet." The landlady reminded Chu Xiu as she looked at Chu Xiu's long black hair scattered behind his head.
"What else?" Chu Xiu asked with a smile.
The landlady glanced at Chu Xiu's waist and said, "I don't have a belt either."
"What else?" Chu Xiu asked again.
The landlady frowned and looked Chu Xiu up and down.
Zhu Yourong on the side reminded: "Shoes."
Hearing this, the landlady lowered her head to look at Chu Xiu's feet and found that Chu Xiu was only wearing white socks and no shoes.
"Go get me a pair of clogs for bathing." Chu Xiu said with a smile.
"Do you want to take a bath?" The landlady hesitated.
Chu Xiu shook his head.
"Then what are you going to do?" The landlady looked puzzled. She was about to take the final exam of Suzaku Academy. If this person didn't dress up properly, why would he still want to wear clogs?
"Since it's a literary test, I should act like a crazy student." Chu Xiu smiled.
"Kangsheng?" The landlady and Zhu Yourong looked at each other, then looked at Chu Xiu together, with a doubt in their minds:
How can this be crazy?
In the end, Zhu Yourong very considerately brought a pair of clogs for Chu Xiu.
After putting it on, Chu Xiu, Zhu Yourong and the landlady came to the inn lobby together.
There is already a sumptuous breakfast table here.
On the dinner table.
The landlady looked at Chu Xiu frequently, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Are you sure you want to take the final exam in this outfit?"
"Of course." Chu Xiu nodded.
The landlady was silent.
Zhu Yourong drank the porridge and looked at Chu Xiu silently, thinking to himself, is Kuang Sheng really dressed like this?
As the True Monarch without Appearance, Zhu Yourong really has never been able to tolerate the madness in his life.
Mainly, rarely seen.
The meal soon ran out, and the three of them left the Chang Lai Inn in a carriage.
In the carriage.
The more the landlady looked at Chu Xiu's dress, the more awkward she felt.
"Instead of looking at me, you might as well think more about yourself." Chu Xiu said leisurely, "You are also considered a disciple of the inner courtyard. It would be a bit embarrassing if you were at the bottom in the literary test."
"Am I going to be at the bottom?" the landlady snorted. As the only descendant of the Mo family, she had attended a private school and read various books.
Chu Xiu looked at the proprietress, "By the way, you said you wanted to teach me the mechanism technique, but don't forget it."
"I know." The landlady said in a muffled voice.
"Actually, I want to learn Boss Zhu's ventriloquism more than my machine skills." Chu Xiu said with a smile.
Zhu Yourong, who was driving, said softly: "Whenever you want to learn, just come to me."
"Do you think I can learn it?" Chu Xiu asked, vaguely feeling that ventriloquism should require a certain amount of talent.
"Um..." Zhu Yourong looked hesitant and asked, "Can you control your tongue?"
"Control the tongue? What do you mean?" Chu Xiu was curious.
Zhu Yourong explained: "To perform ventriloquism, you need to use your mouth, teeth, lips, tongue, throat, nose, etc., the most important of which is the tongue.
This actually involves a certain amount of physical talent. "
"Tell me more specifically." Chu Xiu became more and more curious.
"Some people have a pointed front of their tongues, and some people have a flat front of their tongues." Zhu Yourong said, "Some people can roll their tongues, while others can't... different tongues produce different sounds."
"What about you?" Chu Xiu asked.
"Me?" Zhu Yourong smiled and said, "My tongue can be pointed or flat, curled or straight, long or short, square or round, thick or thin..."
Chu Xiu blinked, his heart beat faster for a moment, and he sincerely praised: "Then you are really awesome."
"That's not the only thing that makes Yourong great." The landlady snorted and raised her chin slightly, "Have you ever heard of Rou Gu?"
"Rougu?" Chu Xiu was curious.
“Yourong’s bones can be very soft or very hard,” the proprietress introduced, “Not only can she imitate anyone’s bone shape, but she can also make various postures.
The art of disguise is innate. "
"It's not that exaggerated." Zhu Yourong said modestly.
Chu Xiu suddenly felt a little thirsty. It was at this moment that he realized that he had forgotten one thing:
How can I live without alcohol?
"Boss Zhu, when you pass by the tavern, buy me two bottles of good wine."
"good."
…
Zhuque Street, finally try the high platform.
The bachelors who serve as judges have stepped onto the stage one after another, and most of the candidates have also arrived.
On the high platform.
The bachelors sit north and south, each with a seat.
In front of them, there were thirty-six low-leg tables, and the names of the candidates were all posted on the low-leg tables.
"Why hasn't that boy come yet?" Meng Xiaochuan looked at the short table with Chu Xiu's name on it and was a little confused.
Gu Chensha said leisurely: "He probably thought that the most important person should be the last one to arrive."
"At this time, he still wants to show off?" Meng Xiaochuan was speechless, and at the same time he was still a little depressed. In fact, in the morning, he also wanted to wait until the last one to climb the high pavilion, but he was kicked by his own grandfather Meng Tiangang. .
Wen Yi sighed: "In this literary test, we are destined to be his foils, and we are really unwilling to do so."
"I have read a lot of books." Jing Yun said with a smile.
Huitong also smiled and said: "The young monk has also read a lot of Buddhist scriptures."
The first snow of summer has arrived. When I heard Meng Xiaochuan, Jing Yun, Huitong and others talking about it, I couldn't help but bow my head slightly when I thought of the scene when I was lazy in studying when I was a child.
"As long as I'm not the last one, that's fine." Xia Chuxue thought silently. In fact, she was very satisfied to be able to sit here and participate in the final exam with these talented people.
On the east side of Zhuque Street, there is a top floor of a high pavilion.
"This kid, do you still want to be the last one to arrive?" Chen Changsheng was a little dissatisfied.
"Master, please rest assured, you will be the most glorious person to appear later." The second gentleman said with a smile.
Chen Changsheng ordered: "You go over first to warm up the place."
"Okay." The second gentleman nodded, and then quietly left, heading for the final test platform.
On the west side of Zhuque Street, on a high pavilion.
Xia Qingshan, Jiang Rou, Jiudaoren, Mo Baicao, Meng Tiangang, the old man surnamed Qin and others gathered here, looking at Zhuque Street from the window.
"Does this kid have to be the last one to arrive?" Xia Qingshan complained.
The bartender smiled and said, "Important people will naturally arrive later."
"I'm really looking forward to it. What will happen if he wins the first place?" the old man surnamed Qin said with a smile.
The wine connoisseur touched his chin, "Dean Feng's temper should be pretty good, right?"
"Sometimes he's very nice, sometimes he's very irritable." The old man surnamed Qin said with a smile.
"Does Xiaoxiu still have an opponent in this literary test?" Xia Qingshan asked hesitantly.
Jiang Rou also looked at her brother, the wine Taoist, curiously.
The wine connoisseur smiled and said nothing.
"Here we come." Meng Tiangang said suddenly.
Everyone looked out the window at Zhuque Street, where a carriage slowly drove towards the final test platform.
At the high-level examination platform, someone looked down and recognized Zhu Yourong, who was disguised as a 'cold-faced man', and couldn't help shouting, "He's here."
On the high platform, most of the bachelors and candidates stood up and looked towards Suzaku Street.
Mr. Er, who had just reached the high platform, couldn't help but look back.
A carriage drove through the crowd and stopped under the high platform.
Zhu Yourong jumped off the carriage.
In the carriage.
"Take the wine and go down first." Chu Xiu ordered.
"What do you think I am?" The landlady was dissatisfied. Why should she get the wine? It wasn't her who wanted to drink it.
"Please cooperate, otherwise my outfit will be wasted." Chu Xiu said warmly.
The landlady snorted softly, and finally walked out of the carriage obediently, holding a bottle of wine in one hand.
As soon as she walked out, she felt the dense gaze, her pretty face couldn't help but blush, she lowered her head shyly, and silently walked to Zhu Yourong's side.
"Why did you forget the background music?" Chu Xiu muttered, a little annoyed, opened the curtain, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and walked out of the car.
Uh-huh!
Up and down the high platform, the eyes of everyone around him fell on Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu laughed and walked leisurely towards the final test platform. His clothes were fluttering and his black hair was dancing backwards, making him look extremely chic.
Zhu Yourong and the landlady looked at each other and followed Chu Xiu silently. Both of them couldn't help but want to complain:
If your hair can move, you must have used some real energy!
On the high platform.
Looking at Chu Xiu who was climbing up the stairs, most of the people had a strange look in their eyes.
"This kid is really good at pretending." Meng Xiaochuan said with an authentic look on his face.
Gu Chensha touched his chin, "He deliberately left his hair and waist untied, probably to make his hair and clothes flow more freely."
"He's still wearing clogs." Wen Yi said leisurely, "This guy is really good at dressing up."
"Are there so many ways to climb the high platform?" Everyone around, including Xia Chuxue, was speechless.
"It looks really chic and uninhibited." Huitong commented objectively.
Everyone was silent, although they all thought that Chu Xiu was pretending, this way of appearing was indeed very eye-catching.
Zhuque Street, on a high pavilion on the west side.
Xia Qingshan, Jiang Rou, Meng Tiangang and others were speechless when they saw Chu Xiu ascending the high platform.
"It's true that he is the apprentice of Pindao." The wine Taoist took a sip of wine and said leisurely.
Mo Baicao complained: "Sometimes this guy is very low-key, but sometimes he likes to be unique."
"The young man's temperament is high-spirited and quite good." The old man surnamed Qin said with a smile.
"..."
On the east side of Zhuque Street, on a high pavilion.
Chen Changsheng's strength is very high, and naturally, his ear skills are also very high.
Chu Xiu's mutterings were clearly heard as he stepped off the carriage.
"Background music?" Chen Changsheng was stunned at that time. When he saw Chu Xiu's outfit, he suddenly felt crisis. After thinking quickly, he suddenly realized, and immediately said through a hurried voice:
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Jiu, come and play music for me!"
